How do I become one of them rangers like Aragorn?
Reading The Lord of the Rings some of my favorite parts are the ones with Strider's show of skill.
I love how he is completely aware of his surroundings and is able to instantly read footprints and use herbs and quickly make himself and his companions unseen and escape danger. At times he seemed more in tune with nature than even Legolas.
I have seen quite a few threads on here of people being scared of the dark and I feel like if one had good old Strider's skill and knowledge he wouldn't be afraid no more.
Aragorn wouldn't be startled in the middle of the forest by some bear, he would know about that mountain lion following him for the last 2 miles. He wouldn t get poisoned by some mushroom or die of hunger because he knows what is good and what is bad to eat. Strider wouldn't get lost in the forest since he has been drawing a 3d map in his head this entire time.
How do I become more like Aragorn, obviously he has had 80 years of experience but what books would you recommend and things to do in the forest to become a little more like him

ITT guys who made it. Men who didn't die of exposure or hunger, men who survived

why does it seem like all you people want to go out and be “in le nature” but don’t give a single fuck about preserving ecosystems or native biodiversity? You feel entitled to go out and be in nature and treat it like your personal fucking playground, damaging the ecosystem and demanding roads and trails be paved through the wilderness so you can “heckin enjoy it”? And then go home and continue to fuel the 6th mass extinction with your destructive consumerist habits?
Anyway, I planted some Texas native wildflowers today to help the declining pollinator population in my area. What did you do?

Is off-grid living a wealthy person's hobby? I can't live in an off-grid cabin full time because the code doesn't allow that, and I also would need a primary residential address. The only way to make it work off-grid is if you already have a real home.

I'm from Texas, born and raised, and I think you're all batshit insane for going out into subzero temperatures to go camping. What's the fucking point? How is that enjoyable? Follow the birds and go south for the winter, there's plenty more nature /out/ there you haven't seen yet, and it's not covered in a foot of snow so you can actually enjoy it. Thanks for coming to my TED Talk.

Any one have any experience doing this job? What nonsense came with the position? Should I do it?

Wait, I thought trekking peaks were easy...

Does anybody else sometimes start screaming and hollering and making chimpanzee noises loud as fuck in the middle of the woods? I like to think that someone far away hears me doing it and thinks it's bigfoot.
